She smacked his hand away. Memories from last night slowly trickled back into virtual-novel.net mind. She was now completely out of sorts. She had actually done such a thing!
Jackson frowned, “What? You were just apologizing, but now you’ve become hostile? I’m still angry…”
She was speechless and chose to slip away, “I… I didn’t do anything wrong anyway. At least, nothing concerning. I’ve apologized, so we’re even. I’ve got work to do!” Then, virtual-novel.net stood up and got ready to leave, but virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net back down, “One more time, the office is quite empty now…”
She felt that virtual-novel.net had gone crazy. This was the office, “No! Let me go! We’ll talk about this at home!”
He refused to comply. He bent forward and sucked on virtual-novel.net earlobe. His teasing nearly drove virtual-novel.net to the brink. She struggled half-heartedly, nearly giving in. Fear brought a different kind of high. She was only afraid that someone from the office might burst in. She clearly remembered not locking the door…
She was extremely red in the face when virtual-novel.net emerged from the office. Aye approached virtual-novel.net curiously, “Why is your face so red?”
She covered virtual-novel.net face with virtual-novel.net hands and rushed into the washroom, “Nothing, had a fight!”
Aye was stupefied. Her face was slapped red. Had virtual-novel.net been slapped? Did virtual-novel.net boss have a tendency to hit women? From that day onwards, virtual-novel.net view of Jackson had changed from admiration and esteem to… despise?
Tremont Estate.
Arianne was eating when virtual-novel.net phone suddenly rang. She left virtual-novel.net phone in the bedroom, where it kept ringing. Mary picked it up for her, “It’s your grandmother.”
Granny? Arianne was surprised because Tabitha hasn’t called virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net left the Tremont Estate. She was feeling slightly overjoyed, but ended up hearing Zoey’s voice on the other end instead, “Ari, you’d better come over. Your granny’s in the hospital!”
Her mind buzzed. The old woman was clearly healthy and only had a slight cough when virtual-novel.net arrived at the Tremont Estate. She had been receiving treatment and didn’t need to go to the hospital, “What happened?”
Zoey did not explain the situation and kept urging virtual-novel.net to come to the hospital instead. Then, virtual-novel.net ended the call.
She couldn’t possibly ignore this, “Mary, get me some warmer coats. I need to go to the hospital. My grandmother’s been admitted.”
Mary panicked, “No! How can you go to the hospital at a time like this? You shouldn’t have to deal with such worrying matters. What on earth is with that aunt of yours? Can’t virtual-novel.net handle Mrs. Wynn’s hospitalization? She knows your current condition, and she’s still giving you trouble. Absolutely not! I’ll have Henry check on virtual-novel.net for you. If you go out now and Mr. Tremont finds out, virtual-novel.net will have a big row with you. We’ve only just had a few days of peace.”
Arianne suddenly panicked. Mary was right. Besides, Zoey was deliberately calling her, waiting for virtual-novel.net to show virtual-novel.net face, “Alright… Then ask Henry to check on things for me, then give me an update.”
Mary released a sigh of relief, “Good girl. I’m doing this for your own good. You’ve been so careful for this baby. We can’t afford an accident.”
Soon, Henry rushed to the old woman’s hospital, then gave an update — it was acute pneumonia, which stemmed from continuous bouts of fever. The old woman was delirious. Even if they managed to cure her, there would be side effects. In short, virtual-novel.net mind would become a lot slower.
